my speed3 hates the cold

Postby reconbygod12 » Mon Jan 10, 2011 9:14

it seems every time it has been below 15degrees or even if the wind-chill is hovering around 0 my car throws some of the oddest cel ever...its kind of ridiculous i think..im really starting to hate my car with a passion all i need now is for someone to just hit the shit out of it in the snow today and i think all my problems would be solved with that car haha

I don't throw any cel's in the cold. But I do hate the way it drives/behaves in the cold.

(waits for "you don't even drive your car" comments...) :D

yeah, mine now stays nestled in the garage on snow days. I don't have to listen to the bushings and rattles that way. The MS3 is def not at home in the colder temps.

Yep, my MS6 acts like its hungover when its below freezing out. It starts up all groggy as sh*t and acts like its gonna go back to sleep if I don't watch it.

Damn...my car ran f'ing GREAT last year when it was like -14 or whatever. I don't think I ever had issues w/ mine in the cold.

Wonder whats different with all yours, seams strange to me.

Yea, it was 20 degrees out the other day when I ran the 6.0 GTO and that felt like the best my car has ever run lol. It always seems to run really well in the cold. I have the suspension creaks like everyone else when it's been sitting outside in the cold, but it usually goes away after a bit of driving.

What CELs are you throwing?
2015 Ironman Silver Veloster Turbo - Bone stock and staying that way
1990 Crystal White Miata - Beater - Bignose 1.6L Swap, Robbins Top w/Glass Window, E-Codes, Air Horns, Brembo Rotors

Yup, mine love the cold, too. I spun tires shifting into 3rd the other day. Probably slick roads, but I doubt my Saturn would have done that.

yeah, the motor loves the cold (once it's warmed up :) )
But the rest of the car hates it... bushings, rattles, etc. It despises the cold.

Haha... there is no better way to explain the MS6 in cold weather. Well put
